Save energy and money with the right flow meter

Choose the right flow meter for your measurement task and optimize your system – this way you save energy and avoid throwing your money out the window.

Compressed air is expensive to produce, so why waste it? We’ve said it before (see our guide to effective optimization of your compressed air system), and we’re happy to say it again. By measuring your compressed air consumption, you can ensure that you get the most out of your expensively produced compressed air.

For this, you obviously need a flow meter, but wait a moment before you throw your money at the first and best one you come across. Before you choose your flow meter, there are a few things you need to consider:

• What size should the flow meter be? Remember that the max flow often determines the size – not the pipe dimensions of the system
• Should the meter be removable even if there is pressure on the system?
• Should the meter be removable while there is flow in the system?
• Should the meter be equipped with a display?
• What output do you want: analog, switch, pulse, or bus?

Does it feel like an overwhelming decision? We understand. That’s why we’ve gathered our suggestions for the 4 best flow meters for measuring compressed air consumption. Get an overview of the different flow meters and their key features, and be well-prepared to choose the flow meter that can most effectively help you optimize your system.

EE741 – The compact and modular solution

EE741 is an in-line flow meter that can measure and monitor compressed air in DN15 to DN50 pipes with great accuracy.

Due to its modular design, you can customize the flow meter to your specific measurement task. You can easily set the pipe diameter via the display menu or the EE-PCS product configuration software.

Once the meter’s manifold is installed in the pipeline, the transmitter can be installed and removed without having to tamper with the pipes. EE741 is therefore also perfect for you if you want to temporarily measure on different manifolds.

Key features:

• Modular design
• The transmitter can be removed without disassembling the pipeline
• Application-specific adjustment under pressure
• Outstanding price in relation to functions and features
• Analog, pulse, and relay output
• Modbus RTU and M-Bus
• Integrated consumption meter
